Review your benefits and submit your elections for 2026 from Wednesday, October 29 – Friday, November 21.

Open Enrollment is your annual opportunity to review your benefits, explore new options and make sure your choices continue to fit your needs, and those of your family, for the year ahead.

During the Open Enrollment period, you’ll be able to make your 2026 elections, learn about what’s new and access helpful tools to guide you through every step.

We’ve made several updates for 2026 designed to give you more choice, flexibility, and access to affordable care, while keeping our plans sustainable for the future. Most of your 2025 benefits will carry over automatically—but not all—so be sure to review your materials carefully to ensure you don’t miss out on coverage you want.

On this page, you’ll find everything you need to make confident, informed decisions.
